About Me



I'm a portrait and fantasy artist, with an interest in book and album covers, from the Greater Vancouver area, British Columbia. Music is my greatest source of inspiration.Please take a look at my pics to see examples of my work, or visit my website - www.erinallen.comAll artwork featured is ©2008 Erin Allen. Please do not remove, hotlink or copy without my explicit permission.For the record I don't want to be friended by random bands who are only interested in racking up numbers. So if you genuinely want to friend me and are in a band include a message with your request!
